Chapter 6
Sesshomaru helped InuYasha and the kids get settled in and then after they went to the East Dining Hall and a feast was waiting for them. Rin and Shippo both ran to the table and sat down as InuYasha and Sesshomaru followed.
"Rin remember to eat slowly. We will not be traveling for a long while so there is no need to rush when eating and that also can go for you Shippo. Though considering your size you have not even been getting a proper amount of food so you can eat as much as you want and by doing so you will begin to grow again." Sesshomaru said and InuYasha looked shocked at Sesshomaru.
"You can tell that he has not been growing?" InuYasha asked. "Of course InuYasha. I am actually surprised that the little Kit has not said a word about it. At his age he should be the same Height as Rin, but he is barely taller than her knee. In human equivalents he is the same age as Rin, but in demon years he is just slightly younger than Rin." Sesshomaru replied and InuYasha lowered his head in shame that he had not noticed Shippo was not growing.
InuYasha sat down next to Shippo and picked up Shippo's plate and stacked as much food on it as it could hold. He sat the plate down in front of Shippo and then did the same for Rin but held back in giving her a ton of food.
They Thanked him and waited for Sesshomaru and InuYasha to fill their plates then once everyone had food they all ate and Shippo ate all the food on his plate and got a bit more meat and also reached for a apple. He cut the apple in half and shared it with Rin when she was done eating. She smiled and Thanked him for sharing and was about to bite into the apple when Shippo noticed a strange smell from the apple and immediately knew it was poisoned. "Wait don't eat it." He said grabbed the half from her and rubbed it on his sleeve and sniffed. He wrinkled his nose held it out each half to Sesshomaru and InuYasha and they confirmed it was poisoned. "Good job in catching the scent Shippo. You have a nearly perfect sense of smell to rival that of the Inu clan." Sesshomaru said and patted him on the head. Rin hugged Shippo.
"Thank you Shippo. You saved me from nearly being killed." Rin said and gave a small kiss to Shippo's cheek.
